Let's just give another try here.Okay, I think terrain is kind of
blocking it. Yeah. No,I'm afraid that won't work either. Look,
we're gonna even more power to runthe rest of his equipment, right,
John, when did you run inthe town. A team would get
a portable generator, maybe from ahardware store or something like that, and
I'll leave here for doctor Brooks.Okay quick, Yeah, I'll get chants.
(00:27):
He those used to be busy withoutrubbing. Uh, why don't you
get some some takedowns for dinner?Yeah? Yeah, how about some pizzas
something like that and keep the receipts. Okay, Yeah, we're hearing about
the car coming. Yeah you thinkthat her? I sure, hope.
So I don't really like to getstarted tonight, yeah, doctor Brooks,
(00:53):
Yeah, Doctor Brooks, but Ithink the power to be I finally made
it with all the grains into theroads around here planted out. Yeah,
we're starting to worry without maybe somethinghappens to you. Well, there's also
a big pulled up at the border. Every single car is being first.
It seems like they asked a millionof questions. Well, we're glad to
see you. Everyone is anxious tobegin observation tonight. I'm Clifford Smythe and
(01:14):
this is John Ash. It's apleasure. So what have you got done
so far? Are we gonna beready for the seven? Oh? We
hope. So John was just onhis way to town to pick up the
last of the supplies. Yeah,and I'd better be on my way if
I'm gonna make it in town onthis brain. We'll have to talk later,
doctor, if you'll excuse me,certainly. We also have two interims
from Toronto, Bill and Jamis.They are over by the bar's model and
(01:37):
I see. Oh that's Wilford Fleischer. He's the caretaker of the cemetery.
You'll definitely want to talk to him. He's quite the character. Mister Fleischer.
Could you come here for just amoment please. He's not too happy
though all the all the attentions ofwatch yourself. Ye. No, mister
Fleischer. I'd like you to meetdoctor Hallie Brooks, supersing researchers from the
(02:00):
States. Ah, it took itlong enough to get here, Yes it
did. Mister Fleischer. Would liketo thank you for your cooperation in those
studies. I don't really have thatmuch to say about it. That's your
necks and hew. But what doyou mean by that? Mister Fleischer's referring
(02:21):
to our ghost doctor Brooks Bill Thomas, Right, you got all your throats?
Man? Oh woman, he don'tcare. The story goes that Dave
Pormantine had a crazy barber around eighteenninety. Seems you like to turn his
razor on young girls, giving themsome very close gave yes well. His
(02:45):
fourth and final victim managed to survivehis attack long enough to name him as
a killer, and he hung forthe crimes after his guilt was confirmed.
But the grand irony is that he'sburied Hue just a few meters away from
the girl discourse shades of Arms eachnight trying to avenge himself on a funny
(03:08):
him swing. We did see yeout a midnight to say wya. There
are some areas of the human mind, and indeed of the world we have
(03:31):
been, that were never meant forinvestigation. There are always those who delve
into the darker worlds of knowledge,and many pay their sanity for their interests.
Some of these unfortunates are taken inby the Heyward Foundation, an organization
(03:53):
that studies paranormal experiences and their effectsare humanity. It is case such as
thes that are sent to a restoredmansion in a small coastal town in Maine,
a center for the care and studyof the insane. Since the nineteen
twenties, this place has been knownas the hay Word Sanitarium. But I
(04:20):
think everyone is in place, Doctor. We've got all the machines calibrated,
and John is in the van withmonitors. I guess it's just a matter
of waiting. Now. It's partof always reminds me of fishing in a
way. I guess we are afishing Huh. Now that's a strange comparison.
I've never been on a ghost hount, Cliff. I guess I'll just
have to take your word for it. Do I detect a note of cynicism
(04:42):
in your voice? Doc? Youwant to be a skeptic, now,
would you? Well, I'm ascientist, Cliff. I'll start believing when
I find proof. It's going totake some solid facts and real evidence before
I buy into camps fire tales.So tell me, have you ever cut
anything? Huh? Got any goodfish stories? I have seen some things
that you wouldn't believe. But Isuppose that if you try hard enough,
you'll be able to discredit all ofmy research as natural phenomena in one way
(05:06):
or another. Probably so, Butcan you tell me that I've been working
with the Foundation this long you stillremain an ironclad disbeliever. Well, I
wouldn't be here if I didn't feelthere are some real questions to be answered.
The whole goal is to determine ifthose phenomena really are supernatural or just
the product of the psyche. Sowhat do you think, Kleff? You
believe in ghosts? I'm here,aren't I? Scott? What was that?
(05:30):
Quick? Give me the workie talkie, turn on the sudlights. Janis
are you there? Janis? Comein over Janie, Janeth, No,
(06:05):
shy, I'm over here, here, over here. Are you all right?
What happened? I saw when Iwas running? I think I twisted
my ankle. Yeah, I foundher, Hallie. We're in the southeastern
quartern of the graveyard by the JohnsonMausoleum. Which one is it? The
(06:27):
one with a basalt statue of Maryin front of it? I have Bill
get the first aid box from thevan too. Janas sprained her ankle.
Let I'll see to it. We'llbe there in a second. Why the
hell were you running around in thedark. Well, I know it sounds
stupid, but I got frightened whileI was checking the cameras. I heard
a noise that sounded like laughter,and I just freaked out. It's something.
Well that's not so stupid considering wherewe are, but you might not
(06:50):
want to go sprinting off that timeyou hear a strange noise. It doesn't
look like I'll be spreading anywhere fora while. M Yeah, it's sprained
all right. Hey, yeah,are you okay? Jan how'd you end
up here? Most of the camerasare in the western section of the cemetery.
I kind of got spooked by anoise and I took off money.
It was a stupid thing to do. Janis, you really need to be
(07:12):
a bit more objective if you planon going anywhere in the sciences, especially
in Paris psychology. Yes, doctorBrooks, I'm sorry, Hey it happened.
No one expects you to be theperfect scientist on your first assignment.
Just be more careful. Well,Bill, why don't we get on either
side of the land one and helpher back to the van. We need
more light. If we're gonna wrapthis up right, sounds like a plan
to meet yet you can one makeit easy. Good afternoon, Here are
(07:54):
Tanitarium? May I help you?Hello, Agnes, this is doctor Brooks.
Can you put me through to doctorChanler. Certainly, doctor doctor Chandler.
Doctor Brooks is online. Two.Thank you, Hello Hallie, what
a pleasant surprise. How are thingsin Canada? The project's going pretty well.
I suppose one of my interns sprainedher ankle last night. Apparently she
(08:18):
got frightened by an owl or something. Yeah, so she took off running
exactly. How are things on yourend of the wire? No, just
fine. Most of the staff aregossiping about Atwater's interview with Maria Cassadour.
Apparently Fox couldn't hypnotize her, sohe asked our wunder kid for some help.
What did that Water do? Hemanaged to hypnotizer with some trick he
learned at Oxford, something to dowith oscillating light patterns. Very new,
(08:43):
not too ethical, but it paidoff. Maria told a real whopper about
ancient vampires owning corporations and escaping nightlyto drink blood from Cox. I bet
Gordon was pleased about the breakthrough,even if it is such weird stuff.
Well, that's the understatement of theyear. I'm at miss Cassador's pretty mad
at Richard. She must realize howhe tricked her by. Now sounds like
(09:05):
you've been having all kinds of fundown there. My project's been pretty uneventful.
But I found something you might beinterested in. Well, in a
graveyard, Hallie. Psychoanalysis does notwork on dead people. Oh, you
are so funny. This isn't anythingto do with your job. I know
you used to be interested in tombstoneengravings. So I thought you might recognize
a symbol I found on a gravestonehere. Now, can you fax be
(09:28):
a sketch or a rubbing of it? I'm not anywhere near a fax right
now, is it okay? IfI just describe it to you? Sure,
Just let me get a pencil here, okay, go ahead, all
right. Well, it looks likea circle with three L shaped lines that
meet in the center like the bladesof the fan, and they all go
counterclockwise, and above the circle arethe letters FT, F T. Well,
(09:52):
the design sounds like a truscille.It's a very old symbol, over
two thousand years old. What doesit mean the symbol of speed and time?
Normally it's represented by three bent legsrotating around a smiling face, but
there are many stylized versions like theone on the tombstone. Do you have
any idea why it'd be on thetombstone of a mad barber? Matter of
(10:15):
fact, I do. I justremembered that i'd seen a stone like that
in Insmouth, Massachusetts. You're madBarber was a member of the Fraternitas Trenacria,
more commonly known as the Brotherhood ofthe Truscille. They were a fraternal
society like the Elks of the Shriners, only once smaller. Of course,
group didn't make it of the twentiethcentury. What happened to them? Oh,
(10:37):
they were probably absorbed into a largergroup, or they just didn't get
enough new members to keep going.Well, that makes sense to me.
Thanks George ioio one, you cantake me to dinner when you come back.
I should make up for the lossof my valuable time. It's an
eight. Then I will take youto Manzonis when I come back. See
you later, by Howie, takecare. Yes, I need to make
(11:03):
a collect call to London. Pleaseone and Mark mark set set, initiate
(11:35):
baselines, initiating EMF baselines, baselineset and operating on diagnostic show green and
efficiency is operal. How are thecameras and recorders? Bill? Everything is
functioning with inacceptable parameters? Too badto see, Jane, what's the status
(11:58):
on the motion detectors in the infraredcamera? The cameras are fully operational and
the detectors are justed in operational.That's it. Then we're ready. If
there's anything out there, we'll getit. Who wants coffee? I don't
have me. We're gonna have tobe on our toes in case Coolie shows
that. Matter of fact, bringme two cups of coffee. All right,
I'll make a whole pop then,don't need all the pizza when he
(12:18):
gets here. Good luck. Let'ssee here. Our next perimeter check is
in half an hour, and ournext systems check is in one hour.
Cliff, you take the first perimetercheck and I'll do the systems check.
All right. Since Genes is inpair, the three of us will do
perimeter checks and Jennis will do someextra systems checks. Sound good? Sure?
By the way, where's mister Fleisher? He leaves every day at five.
(12:41):
The old dude need to sleep.Okay. Here's the coffee, all
right, okay, okay, herelots of sugar, thank you. Hey,
everybody is here? All right?You said that one start? All
(13:03):
right? Here you go here,give me in here, move this side
that one? Here we go.Couldn't start with that one. It's so
hot. Hey, it looks likeeverything's in good shape with the equipment.
Good dab everyone, And we figuredyou wouldn't let us eat if we weren't
done when you got back. No, I would have just made you use
to anchoby and pineapple pizza. Ibought an choking pineapple doesn't sound bad after
(13:28):
all those other pizzas. Something's triggeredthe motion sensor. What are number four
northwest corner? Anything on the cameras? Bill? Nah? What about the
infrared? Nothing? I heard anoise. It's something falling on the audio
tape. When I rewound it.There's a slight fluctuation in them field,
but it's within normal baseline parameters.All right. It might have been a
(13:50):
falling branch or something. Bill,Why don't you go check it out?
Okay, don't go through the othersections. I only want to recalibrate one
Okay, okay, can you hearme, Roger, Yeah, no monster
yet? Then he sign up,will close the alarm. Not yet,
(14:15):
that's just dark and all. Quitin that stuff. Hold on a second,
looks type one of the headstone justdown? Remember that one that looks
like a tree stone's falling over?No wind? Did that quick? Are
you sure the calibrations are correct?I'm as sure as we can be.
Damn it, we'll probably have toredo everything. Bill, come on back
(14:39):
here. We've got a lot todo. Bill, quit screwing around.
Answer me? Should we laff him? If this is one of the stupid
gags, I'll beat him senseless.I'll kill him, I swear to God.
Maybe he hurts himself. All right, you two go see what's keeping
him. Okay, su well,John, maybe we finally found it.
(15:03):
What do you mean he found it? Found? What the big case,
the one that makes our academic reputations. Look, if this thing turns out
big enough, we're set. Ifwe can get some sort of manifestation on
record. Probably just Bill drooping off. Oh, Bill screws around, Sure,
but he wouldn't pull a stunt likethis. I don't think something's happened.
Well, maybe he's just trying toimpress doctor Brooks. Bill is just
(15:24):
that kind of geek and well,doctor Brooks is very attractive. Maybe,
but I still don't think he screwedall of our work. He's just not
that dumb. Wait, there's nothinghim over there where over there by the
mausoleum. Maybe it's walkie talkie gotturned off somehow. Yeah, yeah,
it looks like he might be fixingsomething Bill, Bill, What are you
up to? Hey? Bill?Bill? Oh my god? Anymore?
(15:58):
Come on, Janie Jannis call thepolice right now. Tell doctor Brooks that
Bill is dead. What is that? I don't know, Sean Janis Jans.
I want you and doctor Brooks toget in the van right now.
(16:18):
Lock the doors and don't open themuntil we get there. Okay, come
on, Clif, come on,we gotta get back. Cliff goes shout,
come on, come on, wegotta get going. Come on,
ok okay, yeah, all right, let's go. Do you know how
(16:51):
Bill that he was when he cameup to be badly? Jenny, come
on, we've all got stay calm. Okay. Now that we're all back
together again, the first thing thatwe have to do is get out of
here now Unfortunately, whoever messed withthe phone also didn't number on the cars.
And your's farm's about three miles fromhere. You're not helping. That's
(17:15):
enough. Clith has a point there, And if there is a maniac loose
in the graveyard, it wouldn't bevery safe to go anywhere on phone.
Maybe there's a phone in the caretakershed. We could call the sheriff from
there. Sounds like a plan,didn't I just say it wasn't safe.
No one goes anywhere alone, notto the bathroom, not anywhere. John,
(17:38):
you and I will go together tothe shed. Cliff, you and
Janet stay in the van and waitfor us to come back. Do not
open the doors unless they're certain thatit's not statist. Okay, let's go.
All right. I hope there's aphone in there. No one could
help us. Now, the kida ghost. The sheer will want to
(18:00):
stick around and investigate, and thatwill be all. She wrote. It
can't be a ghost clip. Ghostsdon't kill people? Or really? What
makes you so sure? Aren't therecountless stories of people being killed by ghosts,
but they're not verified. What thatdoesn't mean it can't happen. We
are gonna survive because we can't doanything. Don't hurt him, he's already
(18:21):

want to go look them up.You think you think you was really possessed?
I don't know. Maybe I've alwaysbeen a skeptic. But the voice
was so unnatural. Wow, thatcould have been faked by a simple electronic
(26:21):
device. Well, what about thefact that I had to practically pulp in
his skull to keep him from gettingup again? PCP lots of drugs?
Did it seem like he was ondrugs? To you. I'm not saying
